Aquariums

A sense of wonder leads to inspiration.

New Zealand National Aquarium

City of Napier
Napier, New Zealand

The Portico Group developed a renovation and expansion plan to revitalize the Aquarium as an attraction, and to increase both visitor capacity and operations capability. Incorporating the animals and habitats of New Zealand, the experience starts with a journey through the country forests, including exhibits for several of the most endangered indigenous species. Visitors continue to the ocean shore and into the marine habitats around the islands.
